Ozempic causes GI issues, such as paralysis, and numerous other issues like fatigue and depression because starving yourself isn't healthy. Just exercise and eat a better diet. Exercise is so good for you that fat people who exercise are actually healthier than people of a healthy weight who are sedentary. No fucking way would I ever go on a weight loss drug.

I'm honestly just waiting to see what kind of new side-effects gets listed in the next 5-10 years with these weightloss drugs. I wouldn't risk anything with this level new medicine, and I'm struggling with losing weight right now.

I'm not sure where you read that, but as far as I know it doesn't cause people to starve themselves. It suppresses hunger so they eat a normal amount of food in an era where calorie-dense, hyperpalatable food is the norm.

Diet and exercise is the gold standard, but some people just can't regulate their diet for whatever reason. Be it discipline or genetics. Ultimately though it doesn't matter because the bottom line is a staggering amount of people are at an unhealthy weight.

Being overweight is so bad for your health that known side effects of a drug like ozempic are negligible in comparison. The ones we know about, anyway.

I didn't read it. I had a doctor tell that to me.

Thanks for coming in with that. From what I've heard from my family members in healthcare I knew it was bad, I just didn't have any actual data.
